I may be out of touch, as I'm UK based, and saw it on the cable channel Trouble tonight, but despite the drawn out american tvness of it, the dancing on this show is pretty special. Formatted like "Strictly Come Dancing" meets "Pop Idol" but involving young american dancers, professionally trained and streetstyle, it randomly matches partners and styles to perform before a live studio audience. The judges then rate the least best performers, who dance solo, freestyle for the public vote.

What's great about it is seeing dancers trained in one style conquer another. For example, one breakdancer who's never done any other dance training before, pulled off an amazingly sexy and professional mambo with a trained jazz dancer - truly sensational.

All the dancers are obscenly talented in their own style and completely committed. There will be many, many tears along the road. Trouble, Sunday at 6pm, repeated Fridays around 8.30.

Anyone else been watching? or anyone in the states already seen it? (Apologies if I've missed a thread on this already, I couldn't find one)
